Waking the Princess Lyrics by Thomas and Paul Dutton

Razia’s Shadow at Joe’s Pub

2012

[ALYSHA UMPHRESS]
Take my empty hand
You'll understand
Your life's no prison cell
It's a fairy tale
It's everyone's dream to be in your seat
They're green with envy
They would give their eye teeth
Even to wait on you
Glory be to our heroic king
We owe him everything, his love is unending
Raise your chin and let me see a grin
Now get up off your seat and act like royalty
[ENSEMBLE]
Can't you see the choir sing
Hear the orchestrated strings
Tightropes, trapeze, tumbling
Bursting life makes everything
Watch the dancing cavalcade
Marching potpourri parade
Take a peek, it's quite a view
Just look around, there's love for you
[ALYSHA UMPHRESS]
But before you can attend
Your dress and gown, we must amend
Your tress and dress are a mess
Unless we prim, preen, pamper you, princess
It's everyone's dream to be in your seat
They're green with envy
They would give their eye teeth
Even to wait on you
Oh, which perfume for the occasion?
Ambrette and agarwood, juniper and jasmine
Glory be to our heroic king
We owe him everything
Let the choir sing
[ENSEMBLE]
Can't you see the choir sing
Hear the orchestrated strings
Trilling trumpets, timpani
Music fills the gallery
Watch the dancing cavalcade
Marching potpourri parade
Take a peek, it's quite a view
Just look around, it's all for you
[NIDRIA]
I've held this pose
But never fancied it
The grin upon my face is fake
I didn't ask for this
I'm favored but I've got no freedom
I should feel fortunate but I'm forsaken
I'm flooded with fruits, feasts, and frills
But my emptiness never fills
Fireworks flash from the sky
But only fading grays find my eyes
Fuschia feathers flutter by
Florescent birds fly through the sky
Floating freely their flight
While my feet stay firmly fast inside
What I'm dreaming of
You can't see or touch
It's a feeling
Called
